I've been reworking my old APRS IS parser, and I'm finding a lot of overly
long messages, like this one:
KD5YOV-14>APU25N,TCPIP*,qAC,AHUBSWE::KC4JGC :5.3 miles northeast of
Norfolk, VA --- Report received 15 minutes 59 seconds ago {21
The spec gives a maximum length of 67 characters for a message. That one is
81 characters, counting the trailing space. Was the spec revised at some
point, or do clients just ignore it? Makes it hard to know how big a
database field is required to store it...
